There is something special about this music. No other band unlocks my heart the same way they do. My emotions just poor out of me with no control and I end up sitting on my couch for hours binging on La Dispute on some kind of emotional closure trip.
True. Their sincerity to the authentic experience and true love/emotions is what I find ultimately the most attractive about this band. I always feel a certain closeness or attachment to their songs. I think, as you said, their willingness to share their honesty in such a way, creates this spiritual bond with the song. Like a friend that can support you or a person that challenges you in life. It really boosts the authentic experience. I can bet everyone who is into La Dispute have something in their life that they can attach to every song. And it starts as a song with a meaning and a concept but then transforms into this thing that amplifies your own experiences in life. Truly a beautiful gift they have given us.
I lost one of my best friends & a lover yesterday. This song reminds me so much of her. It’ll be on repeat for years to come. I love you Katie, you beautiful disaster.
I recall once on the church steps When I moved to kiss your chest How we paid such close attention To each sweet and stuttered breath I should've stopped to paint our picture Captured honest pure affection Just to document the difference between attraction and connection I can see all of my friends and I break into empty buildings When the coast was clear With backpacks full of beer We’d throw our bottles from the rooftops At this city-it looked endless Guess I still don’t see the difference between real purpose and that urgent adolescence And I remember in a basement sharing sweat With all these stranger boys and girls “We’ll change the world!” We sang “We’ll change the world!” But Nothing seems to change and They say none of them will listen But I still see much more power in that basement than in worthless politicians And if we get beaten by this winter If we get strangled by regret, just Let our love of life and tension Gasp in sweet and stuttered breaths, and Have them lay us in a basement Smash some bottles on the ground, and Say we never knew the difference between the feeling and the sound Remember not our faulty pieces Remember not our rusted parts It’s not the petty imperfections that define us but The way we hold our hearts And the way we hold our heads I hope they write your names beside mine on my gravestone when I'm dead And when we’re dead let our voices carry on To find a better song To find a better song and sing along, sing along, sing along..
a few days ago i read the describtion of a la dispute king park cover, it said: "la dispute is a genre-defying, living and breathin work of art and passion" this is so true!! this words come pretty close, but i'm still not sure if i'm able to express my love and devotion for them in words....
i'd wager that they most certainly are, but their hardcore influences are more masked by their musical evolution and influences - thus, POST-hardcore. touche amore is also a post-hardcore band, but they're more of a post-HARDCORE band. does that makes sense?
This one of the purist forms of music...he speaking from his soul...look at his face he is not here..he gone in his music and doesn't care what anybody else thinks... he is in love with his music and it takes someone talented to get lost in their own songs, spectacular song as always la dispute BRAVO
goosebumps every time i hear it. thats my life theme song. Remember not our faulty pieces, Remember not our rusted parts, It's not the petty imperfections that define us but The way we hold our hearts, And the way we hold our heads.
Amazing song and performance. I've been listening to this song multiple times a day and still amazes me each time. It's first thing I do when I get to work to start my day,
I have searched every version of this song i have learnt all the lyrics i have been listening to this more than 100 times I just love this masterpiece so much i cannot describe Its there both at bad and good times and i will never forget how much you guys helped me with all your songs and this even more Thank you.
Finding clips like these while going through La Dispute videos late at night is nothing short of a treasure. This is one of my favorite songs by them, and this performance is absolutely fucking flawless.
I can't get enough of this song its just soooooo amazing everything about it. He is a true poet, I love all his music. This song is just so well done in my opinion
What an amazing group. Heard them on spotify and fell in love. The build up, the incredible lyrics, just amazing music. Lead singers voice couldn't be more perfect for this music as well. Kind of how (again, not a names guy) the lead singer of bright eyes fits his music perfect. Not comparing the two.
"Nine" I recall once on the church steps When I moved to kiss your chest How we paid such close attention To each sweet and stuttered breath I should've stopped to paint our picture Captured honest pure affection Just to document the difference between attraction and connection I can see all of my friends and I break into empty buildings When the coast was clear With backpacks full of beer We'd throw our bottles from the rooftops At this city-it looked endless Guess I still don't see the difference between real purpose and that urgent adolescence And I remember in a basement sharing sweat With all these stranger boys and girls "We'll change the world!" We sang "We'll change the world!" But Nothing seems to change and They say none of them will listen But I still see much more power in that basement than in heartless politicians And if we get beaten by this winter If we get strangled by regret, just Let our love of life and tension Gasp in sweet and stuttered breaths, and Have them lay us in a basement Smash some bottles on the ground, and Say we couldn't tell the difference between the feeling and the sound Remember not our faulty pieces Remember not our rusted parts It's not the petty imperfections that define us but The way we hold our hearts And the way we hold our heads I hope they write your names beside mine on my gravestone when I'm dead And when we are dead let our voices carry on To find a better song To find a better song and sing along.
weird i just seen Jordan at Ryan and heart the other day in Grand Rapids MI, Always remember the good ol days. the days at the Daac, the days at Skeletones, the days in those basments where you moved to much you hit your head or arms on something, im so proud to say im from Grand rapids where these guys left from. Keep up the good work guys.
Brother, Sister is my favorite album by them. Really anything off of that is great. A to B Life (their first album) is probably the closest to La Dispute. Nice and Blue, Gentlemen, and Bullet to Binary are some of my favorites off that one. Catch For Us the Foxes is also great, January 1979, Disaster Tourism, and Four Word Letter are super from that release.
There's something incredible and inspiring about seeing that they're just normal people, with keyboards and amps in the corner, just making a song that means something to them.
